/* ** bitstring(): print bit pattern of bytes formatted to string. ** ** By J. Blauth, Sept. 1992. Hereby placed into the public domain. ** ** byze: value to transform to bitstring. ** biz: count of bits to be shown (counted from lowest bit, can be any ** even or odd number). ** strwid: total width the string shall have. Since between every 4 bits a ** blank (0x20) is inserted (not added after lowest bit), width of ** bitformat only is (biz+(biz/4-1)). Bits are printed right aligned, ** positions from highest bit to start of string filled with blanks. ** If value of strwid smaller than space needed to print all bits, ** strwid is ignored (e.g.: ** bitstr(s,b,16,5) results in 19 chars +'\0'). ** ** EXAMPLE: ** for (j = 1; j <= 16; j++) { bitstring(s, j, j, 16); puts(s); } ** 1: 1 ** 2: 10 ** 3: 011 ** d: 0 0000 0000 1101 ** e: 00 0000 0000 1110 ** f: 000 0000 0000 1111 */ void bitstring(char *str, long byze, int biz, int strwid) { int i, j; j = strwid - (biz + (biz >> 2)- (biz % 4 ? 0 : 1)); for (i = 0; i < j; i++) *str++ = ' '; while (--biz >= 0) { *str++ = ((byze >> biz) & 1) + '0'; if (!(biz % 4) && biz) *str++ = ' '; } *str = '\0'; } #ifdef TEST #include #include int main(void) { char s[80]; long j; for (j = 1L; j <= 16L; j++) { bitstring(s, (long)j, (int)j, 16); printf("%2ld: %s\n", j, s); } return EXIT_SUCCESS; } #endif
